Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''All My Lenins''''' (((lang-et|Minu Leninid))) is a 1997 Estonian historical comedy film by [[Hardi Volmer]].<ref>((cite book |title=Culture and Customs of the Baltic States |last=O'Connor |first=Kevin |year=2006 |publisher=Greenwood Publishing Group |isbn=978-0-313-33125-1 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=IpR0-OrrwssC&q=All+My+Lenins+volmer&pg=PA164))</ref> It was produced by the Faama Film company in cooperation with Lenfilm.

== Synopsis ==
In 1908, young [[Estonia]]n politician [[Aleksander Kesküla]] ([[Üllar Saaremäe]]) escaped from Estonia, then part of the [[Tsarist Russian Empire|Tsarist Russia Empire]], to [[Switzerland]], where he enrolled in the [[University of Bern]]. Kesküla is concerned about national oppression in the Russian empire, as is famous Russian exile and [[Bolshevik]], [[Vladimir Lenin]] (portrayed by [[Viktor Sukhorukov]]). Lenin believes tsarist Russia to be "the prison of nations". 

When [[World War I]] breaks out, Lenin blames it on the Russian and German [[bourgeoisie]]. He begins to agitate "to end war even if Russia is defeated". Kesküla seizes the opportunity to use Lenin and his followers to start a revolution against the Russian Empire. He devises a plan to overthrow Russia and build upon the ruins of the defunct empire Gross-Estland (Great Estonia). The new empire would incorporate all former [[Finno-Ugric peoples|Finno-Ugric]] territories, including [[Saint Petersburg]]. 

Kesküla and the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs make a deal to support Lenin financially. Lenin accepts the help. The Germans then install their super-spy Müller ([[Andrus Vaarik]]) to serve as the project's coordinator. Kesküla and Müller train five Russian men as Lenin's [[doppelgängers]]; they want to be sure they can replace the real Lenin at any moment should something happen to him or should Lenin become a liability.

== Historical accuracy ==

The authors of the film (screenplay by Toomas Kall, story by [[Hardi Volmer]] and Ott Sandrak) called it pseudo-historical, as the film contains some historical accuracies, but is mostly fiction. In fall 1914, the German ambassador in Switzerland, Freiherr Gisbert von Romberg ([[Linnar Priimägi]]) informed his government about "an Estonian, Alexander Kesküla, who made a proposal to use Lenin in our plans against Russia." German intelligence clarified that Kesküla indeed had access to Bolshevik inner circles and to Lenin himself (as in the film). Moreover, Kesküla had prior experience using foreign assistance to support rebels in Russia; in 1905, he received money from Japanese spy Akashi Motojiro to advance his interests in Tallinn, Tartu, and Riga.

The Germans were initially skeptical of Kesküla's proposal. The [[German Foreign Ministry]] viewed the Bolsheviks as a fringe group that lacked the influence to change hearts and minds in the Russian state (as in the film.) However, the situation soon changed; in December 1914, Kesküla received 10,000 Reichsmarks from Germany to distribute to the Bolsheviks.<ref>((Cite web |url=http://www.ut.ee/ABVKeskus/jaanson/Lmr/AK.htm |title=Aleksander Kesk?la |access-date=2007-11-07 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071206140623/http://www.ut.ee/ABVKeskus/jaanson/Lmr/AK.htm |archive-date=2007-12-06 |url-status=dead ))</ref>

Although Kesküla informed the German government about Lenin, Kesküla may not have been the only one to fund Lenin's cause with outside money. The film, however, focuses solely on Kesküla. 

"The school of Lenin's doppelgängers in Zürich" is also fictional, as are the doppelgangers themselves (Lenin-Monk, Lenin-Beggar, Lenin-Electrician and Lenin-Criminal).
